Three Thousand Years of Longing
“A feast for the head and the heart and the eyes.”
- Scott Tobias, The Reveal
“A strange and bewitching fairy tale for adults, unfashionable in its cerebral whimsy and mid-budget wizardry.”
- A.A. Dowd, Digital Trends
“Three Thousand Years of Longing is indeed a cautionary tale, but it’s a complex, beautiful one, suggesting that love, longing, and loss are all parts of a vast, wondrous life.”
- Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
SYNOPSIS: Dr. Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic -- content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.
